Lovers Lane

I had no idea there was a lovers lane in Grand Haven until just a few weeks ago! You drive up past the whole touristy part of the beach and take a left onto a private drive. There is a white fence that says "lovers lane" and you head up toward the gorgeous houses on the dunes with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan! It's really quite a pretty drive! It has been thunderstorming all day long. Lightning, thunder - I got home and took a nap and woke up to a gorgeous sunset. It was even raining while the sun was out - I loved the atmosphere of tonight. Spring is such a perfect season.

I love this rose-hued skirt. The material, the shape, everything about it fits my body perfectly. And the color goes with so many items in my closet. I can't wait to style it up again (soon!) This strapless tank-top was the first thing I ever purchased from Forever 21 - when I was like 17. I've had it for so long! It's probably the only item I have this old. I just love the flower detailing on it. I still have to bundle up in cardigans for right now - there is still a little bit of a chill in the air!

I received these flowers from the studio excellence dinner and they were dying, so I thought I'd have a fun little shoot with them. This idea isn't mine! I had some major inspiration from Pandora's shoot she did on her blog. Her photos are just so amazing - and she's stunning! Seriously a huge inspiration. People driving past us must have thought we were crazy scattering flowers all over the road. When we left, I put them in someone's newspaper box. Hope they enjoy! :)

Great look! I had that skirt on my wishlist forever and now it's sold out! Boo. Hopefully they'll bring it back soon. And what a perfect combo with the old Forever 21 shirt. See you never know when something will come in handy!

You look so beautiful Tieka. I love this lovers lane..I want to go there! These flowers are just gorgeous..and that pink skirt, ah! Looks SO good on you! You look super happy lately! So proud of you for your graduation and stuff too! <3 Have a great rest of your week Tieka! x

Awww Teika you're so freaking adorable ALLLLLL the time. I love it. Your hair is seriously the cutest style I've ever seen- to be honest, I cut my bangs today with inspiration from you :). I can't quite pull off the blunt bang, so they are more fringe-y...but yeah :)

When I saw the name of this post and read the first sentence, I thought for a second you were about to talk about Lover's Lane, the naughty lingerie store. I thought it was about to get interesting, fast! Haha. But seriously, you look so cute! That skirt is amazing and looks fabulous on you. You always seem to find the most beautiful places to take photos, too. I love that you can find the beauty in Michigan.

I loveeeee this post!! The outfit, the photos, you're always adorable personality - LOVE! The photos are gorgeous, seriously. And this outfit is adorable, especially that skirt and top which were made for eachother (and you)! My ex boyfriend used to live by a lovers lane but in West Virginia (incest lovers? aha)

I absolutely love the picture with the flowers in the road and your feet. It's so pretty!

I actually looked up 'Lover's Lane's in my state. I went to the closest one and took a picture of the street sign but it was nowhere near as pretty as the one you found sounds. :\ I've always wanted to find a really pretty and romantic Lover's Lane. If I'm ever in Michigan, I shall check it out! :)

You look gorgeous. I was eyeing that skirt up. I want it so much. It's not like its out of my price range but cos I live in the UK its like $25 just to get something over here and I just can't justify it =(

First of all, let me say I adore/love/heart your blog! You are an inspiration to me in terms of fashion, positive attitude to life and setting yourself goals (I joined WW and lost almost a stone so far because I stumbled upon your blog and read your WW story - I'll be forever grateful :DSecond of all - you look gorgeous! I love the skirt!Also, have you lost more weight? You look skinny girlfriend!Love and kisses from London!

Spring is my favourtie season. We have had a few really warm and sunny days, but today there was a bit rain and i loved it ! :)i also like your skirt very much, it is such a nice colour and it matches perfectly with the shirt.Awesome ! -P.bowtiediary.blogspot.com

Girlllll.... you're so brave to do a photo shoot right at that spot!! But I guess traffic is still light there this early in the season. This post made me so homesick suddenly. I grew up in Grand Rapids but now live in Texas (do you know there's only ONE natural lake in this entire state!? I can't tell you how that boggles my mind). Loving your fashions...keep up the good work!

What awesome pictures!! That skirt IS perfect on you--just lovely! Loving the scattering flowers on the road with the water behind you...but the curve behind me makes me worry about unexpected traffic--be careful love! :P and CoNgRaTs!! on your graduation--what an accomplishment!! :D

you are soo adorable. i've been looking at your blog since like november, and i finally decided to create a blog of my own, so now i can comment on yours! but you really inspire me. i love your outfits! (:

i loveee that outfit! the perfect pink hue of the shirt and lovely flowers on your shirt are just beautiful. and your smile and enthusiasm blooms even brighter than those flowers (so cheesy, but true!). :)
